Interviewing Methodology:

Search Associates uses behavioral interviewing as our standard interview process. Behavioral interviewing teaches us that the best predictor of future success is past performance.

Through the interview, we develop a profile that highlights interpersonal skills, career aspirations and areas of technical and business expertise.

Referencing:

It is our policy to, wherever possible; conduct reference checks on all candidates that we represent. These references will verify information gathered during our interview process, and will cover technical, as well as business and interpersonal skills.

In some cases, conducting reference checks may jeopardize the individual's current employment status. In these situations, we would ask the candidate to provide a copy of recent performance evaluations conducted by their current employer. We will also inform the candidate that any offer of employment is subject to reference checks.

Submission Approvals:

All candidates represented by us are contacted prior to submission to receive their approval to be presented to our Client. Search Associates outlines the specific details of the particular assignment and the candidate is made aware of the duties and responsibilities required by the client. The candidate is screened for the suitability of the skills required, pay rates are negotiated and availability date confirmed.

Enough specific client and assignment information is provided to ensure there are no conflicts should any other supplier be representing the candidate. However, clients are encouraged to inform Search Associates immediately of any potential conflicts with candidates who have been submitted.
